Editorial policy

How imagery is used

Open, traceable sources

Open-source records link to the Commons description page, the original image file and the applicable licence when one is required.

Documentary integrity

The family-held photographs are metadata-stripped preservation derivatives. No person, document text, damage or missing area was generated or reconstructed.

Decorative AI texture

A pale mounting-board texture behind the Clarke artefacts was AI-generated on 19 July 2026. It is non-representational, disclosed beside the gallery and never treated as historical evidence.

Editorial context

The cricket scorebook and Highland landscape are original first-party editorial images. They are labelled as context, never as recovered documents, portraits or proof of a family claim.
